Oracle of the Maritimes

I planned the dream inside a dream

With your uncle

A fisherman who died

"The oracle of the maritimes"

Too cloudy to see fireworks

We would ride

A chest of drawers into the waves

His granite hand held mine

I asked him how to tell you

How much I could love you

'Cause I've never been so sure of anything

Sometimes I feel so beautiful

It's strange for a tomboy

Bruises up her legs

Your big hand holds my face

Sometimes I feel so ugly

I'm afraid

Worry nesting in my hair

Shedding like a Christmas tree

Surely there's a real woman coming to erase me

There's no way I could tell you

How much I could love you

'Cause I've never been so scared of anything

And I'm not even wearing underwear

In no way exotic

I just forgot to

And I'm too much for people, so I gauge

And shout my thoughts to you from a distance

And that's no way to tell you

How much I could love you

Though I've never been so sure of anything

Let go of my hand

You passed me an oar

The oracle of the maritimes

He said, "Come on, sweet girl

Let's find you an ocean

That goes with your eyes"

He said, "Come on, sweet girl

Let's find you an ocean

That goes with your eyes"
